This is a feature of the amoled screen. All black pixels are actually off. Though if you don't want it, there is a way to disable it:
Settings>Advanced>Display>Ambient Display then switch it off

True black lock screen?

Anyone able to get their lock screen true black? Everything I've tried looks like light bleeds from behind.
OK figured it out. If you want a true black lockscreen you have to turn off ripple effect under security>lock screen.

[Q] Lock screen black pixels

Hi Guys one question or more like interesting observation;
If i love something on my GS6 is amazing screen, specialty true black color which gets truly black by shutting down pixels. so this happens every time, but not on lock screen. When I set black lock screen the black color is not truly black anymore and the back lid light is seen. Hope you understand what I'm trying to say.
(its kind of disturbing to have black lock screen and home screen and when unlocking phone u get so clearly different color) - you can even try it out yourself and give it some feedback what u think of this
here is link to the black wallpaper; BLACK WALLPAPER
So if any of you know how to fix that or this is something that cannot be done and i just have to say bye to true black color on lock screen?
Thanks and wish to you all the best!

Most seem to have this. Ive had 2 and they both make the same noise
I have the exact same issue and more...
Please try the camera in a dark room and see if you have a white shadow almost like the one in the black lock screen?
I try to exchange the device but they say, and it´s true, that if it was a screen problem we would notice everytime.
If you look at the black image in the gallery you don´t get that white shadow!

That's because the lock screen has an effect. When you open the lock screen, it is set to lighten the wallpaper and zoom into it. It's because of the effect the lock screen doesn't appear truly black. I know it sucks, but I couldn't find any options to turn off the effect. I've simply resorted to using one of those active display notification apps from the play store that mimic the active notifications of the moto X. Screen stays pure black.

Help with lock screen

There is a picture on my screen somehow above the notifications (not wallpaper) and idk how it got on there and idk how to get it off. I deleted the picture it's showing but that didn't do anything. How do I get it off?
It's the screen that pops up with the time and any notifications when the screen is off and it's not in use.

how to turn off pixel lines

Hello
I have a dead line of pixels on my screen and i want to turn off the screen on that line(it is constantly white due to dmg to the OLED)
i tried with adb (overscan command) but that only moves them up and the area is grey
i was wondering if there is a way to completely turn off 10 rows of my screen so they stay permanently black
